Idea for a (modest) paper (which should at least serve to motivate us to complete the statement and proof of the "w-genus g" theorem of [link]):
Title. Finite type invariants of certain 2-knots in certain 4-manifolds.
Abstract. We construct a homomophic expansion (a universal finite type invariant) for a certain class of 2-knots in a certain class of 4-manifolds (details and small print inside), using some novel techniques which include certain 4D surgeries and a related "Aarhus integral", and a certain diagrammatic analog of Heisenberg algebras. Almost certainly, this paper will not be interesting in the long term, as it is clear that our results should be subsumed within a higher level of understanding of 2D in 4D and of w-knot and v-knot techniques. Yet to gain this higher level understanding we must start somewhere, and right now, this is here.
Some after-visit thoughts are in monoblog.
We should hear Alekseev's talk at MSRI, and read [link]. Also some LD16 talks.
